Microorganisms are ubiquitous in their habitat inhabiting almost every corner of the earth.
The expanding demand and knowledge for sustainability and biotechnological approach for …

Eukaryotic cells are most fascinating because of their high degree of compartmentation. This
is particularly true for plant cells, due to the presence of chloroplasts, photosynthetic …

Extremophiles are organisms that thrive in environments previously thought inhospitable to
life because the physicochemical characteristics fall outside the range tolerated by human …

Microalgal cultivation system is regarded as an effective bioremediation system for NH 4+-
containing wastewater. However, ultrahigh NH 4+ concentration in wastewater impeded the …

In chloroplasts of green plants and algae, CO2 is assimilated into triose-phosphates (TPs); a
large part of these TPs is exported to the cytosol by a TP/phosphate translocator (TPT) …

Galdieria sulphuraria is a thermo-acidophilic microalga belonging to the Cyanidiophyceae
(Rhodophyta) class. It thrives in extreme environments, such as geothermal sulphuric …

Red microalgae from the Cyanidiophyceae, particularly Galdieria sulphuraria and
Cyanidioschyzon merolae, are primitive photosynthetic thermoacidophiles that thrive in …

Existence of life outside the Earth is a mystery that human beings have been searching for
centuries. In the past few decades, discovering microbes in extremely terrestrial habitats has …

While members of the archae rule at the high end of the temperature spectrum of life,
members of the bacteria and eukaryotes thrive in a wide range of extreme conditions …

The merger of a prokaryotic cyanobacterium with a primitive eukaryotic mitochondriate cell
was a crucial event in evolution, leading to the first photosynthetic eukaryote, the protoalga …
